I have flown into Manassas several times on an IFR basis (from the south
and no problem). Flew into Fredericksburg once with a two ship VFR, and
no problem, but you do have to have the SFRA "Certificate of
Achievement" with you!

Subject: RV-List: Travel to Washington DC, Request for Experience and
Recommendations
Greetings,
I am planning a trip to Washington DC from Central New York State
during spring of 2010. We want to fly our RV-6 to the Washington DC
area and then commute into the city to visit the Smithsonian Natural
History museum and some monuments. I am asking for recommendations and
experience about what airport to fly into and what methods of
transportation to be used to get into the city. I am aware of and
will be prepared for the special flight rules pertaining to the
Washington DC metropolitan area.

We flew into Gaithersburg, MD a couple years back and it was no hassle.
We had arranged a rental car and it was there. The FBO had the keys and
the paperwork. It really was a piece of cake.
Pax,

Check out Advisory Circular 43.13-1B. Its available on-line but is quite b
ig so the best bet is to find what you are looking for and only print that
part you need.

Does anyone know of a source that gives the screw spacing for a generic ins
pection hole cover on aluminum skin? I am curious if such a specification e
xists and whether it takes panel thickness and fastener diameter into accou
nt. I couldn't find what I'm looking for in any of my reference books.
Thanks in advance.
